Nest Style Beach Hotel Zanzibar

Bait and switched hotels on our group. More to come after our stay… Mojitos are good. The veggie spring roles get two thumbs up. Definitely try them if you come here. Heading to the pool with a view of the water and a light breeze blowing. Sun and swim here I come.

Nest Style gets it right when it comes to providing nice accommodations, friendly service, really good food and drink. I have stayed in more luxurious places and on the opposite end much less expensive lodging. What we appreciated with Nest Stle is it did what it does well without being pretentious, at a price point that makes one feel they got a bargain. It checks all the boxes (that really matter) Friendly service- ✔ Accommodating to guests needs- check Good food and drink - ✔ Wifi consistency - check (a few outages but very few) Simple but tasteful decor - ✔ Attentive staff but not over bearing for tips and or trying to up-selling stuff- ✔ All in all a great place for the price paid. Some things to improve on but merely personal preferences. - Morning Coffee. With Tanzania and Kenya coffee producers. Their coffee should highlight this and coffee should be from the region and bean to cup. - the fitness center really needs a re-do. - if all inclusive, refill the mini fridge daily. Having said this, the food and drink was very plentiful and easy to get at the bar / restaurant just a few feet away from my door. Bottom Line. Highly recommend the hotel, think new management is trying to improve on a good hotel and concept. It takes about 1.5hrs to get from the airport to the hotel by taxi and plan on paying $100 round trip. Also did not realize until we arrived that Visa cost depends on Nationality. Germans pay around 50 euros for single entry. US pays $100 per person multi entry.

When first arriving here we were very warm welcomed by friendly staff. The rooms are spacious, there are two pools and the hotel is at the beach. The sea front is very shallow and one must take care not to step on sea urchins. The staff makes the difference at this place, they are very helpful and taking care of all our requests, also requests out of the ordinary. We liked the Bar-B-Q every evening with changing dishes. Good stuff all!

First stay here was planned and after 3 nights and some air-conditioning problems ( fixed ), we can fly back home…. Plane was overvooked and we return back for one week more stay in Nest Style…. Second stay was unplanned, but the location and character of the resort is so nice, that we come back…. Everything was ok, staff very helpful and weather also perfect. Sea on this location comes back to the beach every 6 hours, so you have much more time to explore all the lagoons and places - normal time underwater…. Super !

Location is great (don’t get discouraged by comments on tides), from the restaurant to the beach: the guys there take really good care of every detail and are really kind. We had some issues but they were promptly addressed. Food was really good as well, abundant and at a fair price. Excursions are presented, arranged and performed with high standards and attention to the customer. Only watchout is related to wifi connection, that was not consistent (they mentioned some issues related to the internet plan). Overall a great place to stay!
